   SWEEEEEEEEEET!!! this is the way to take back the country from these socialist’s! and how do WE do it? what was it Obama/Axelrod/Emmanual said?…oh yeah “get in their faces”!

   Unlike leftist’s we are quick learners and will ensure our country goes back to its right of center heritage and it won’t take us 40 years of pain to do it!

   Big Bro math trumps ACTUAL counting.

   We had a great time and even used some logic as we sparred with the liberals, which of course, they don’t understand. Fun day nonetheless. I’ve attached a few pics.

   Now that did leave a semblance of satisfaction. I would truly like to believe that the concept of critical thinking is genetically inherent in any species that wishes to survive … so perhaps maybe just a little bit of it may have sunk in somewhere. Even some rocks are porous and have room for just a little more.

   While I question the numbers here, I do not doubt that he has indeed created numerous jobs. The question needs to be asked though, how do jobs in other nations benefit us as American citizens?

   We need more of this! I’d like to know how they “spread the word”. This is the kind of organization and infrastructure needed by Conservatives. I echo LastMassCon, but we need the communication conduits.

    Dexter, we have a fairly active 9-12 Project group that I belong to in our area. They helped organize our local Tea Party in April and a march on our ABC affiliate the day of the Obama Health Care infomercial. A few of the “top” members monitor on-going issues and can get the word out quickly if needed.

    You may want to go online and find your local group. If you do not want to join you can at least get on their e-mail list for updates.

    Speaking of paying for all this . . .

    Last evening, I saw a segment on Fox News about the health care bill including language stating specifically that those taxpayers making more than $200K would be expected to pay a special surtax, or assessment, to cover a large part of the costs of this new health care initiative. They went in to great detail about which states had the highest percentage of residents that would qualify for the new tax, etc. etc., and as I listened to the report, it just screamed out to me what a flagrant example of wealth redistribution this could become. Am I the only one that heard that?
    I mean Geez Louise, they aren’t even hiding the agenda anymore.

    Great job in spotting a demo and countering it. Conservatives need to adapt to the latest technology to get the word out, such as using Twitter to create a “flash mob” if necessary. We’ve got to use their tools against them. This is going to be tough, but its a fight that MUST be won.

    Obamacare is what scares me a whole lot more than cap-n-tax. That can be reversed, this will destroy the machinery of private healthcare fairly quickly.

    BTW, gutting the military and running multi-trillion dollar deficits is a good way to ensure any possible Republican successor will have a hard time finding the money to rebuild the military. Healthcare adds to that.

    Call me crazy, but nothing Obama does is surprising if one assumes he is the Siberian Candidate, the ‘Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers’.

    I count about a dozen Teabaggers in the foreground of the photos and at least 2 to 3 dozen MoveOn protestors in the background.

    Are we to just take your secondhand account from an e-mail you received regarding this supposed 4-1 ratio?

    Either way…the rally looks small enough that I wouldn’t expect the NYT to report on it regardless.

    I mean Geez Louise, they aren’t even hiding the agenda anymore.

    Remember what Obama told JTP during the campaign? He meant it.

    Remember that Obama said the Warren Court (which supported LBJ’s Socialist “Great Society”) “wasn’t that radical”?

    Remember the explanation Obama gave for why he thought the Warren Court “wasn’t that radical”? It “wasn’t that radical” because it:

    never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth

    Here’s the larger context:

    “If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement, and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples, so that I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I’d be okay.”

    “But,” Obama said, “the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, as least as it’s been interpreted, and Warren Court interpreted in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted.”

    Obama said “one of the, I think, the tragedies of the civil rights movement, was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still stuffer from that.”

I informed them that I changed my voter registration from republican to “no party affiliation” and that considering how the half-witted republicans vote in Congress they would be better off fund raising from registered democraps.

    Excellent report on Tea Parties Michelle, has anyone posted your speech from that event?

    From someone else who attended:

    Just back from the rally. Maybe 50 rational people attended in support of a public health care option.

    More than 50 attended who were opposed. I gathered from their signs and shouts that they were mostly of the tea bagging, anti-immigration, anti-tax, anti-socialism, anti-Obama, anti-welfare persuasion.

    They were quite rude, loud, and filled with hate for so many things. Their command of language and simple reason cried out for more and better public education.

    I met some very nice people as we stood on the public (socialist?) sidewalk and talked about the problems of people with no health care, and delivered our message to Hagan.

    The opposition really had the flag thing going on. Lot’s of flags, many quite large. But it was interesting to me that they displayed not one single American Flag. Oh, there were T.E.A. flags, and Don’t Tread On Me flags, and others I could not recognize. But not Old Glory.

    Perhaps they were secessionists. If so, I hope they succeed.

    Next event like this that I attend, I’m taking a large American Flag.

    I actually like Hagan. I didn’t really like Dole because I felt like she was imposed on us by the R’s. I would have probably voted for Hagan if the D’s weren’t so powerful in the senate already.

    Hagan is a pretty good one. I’m glad free marketers outnumbered the socialized medicine group. People in NC don’t take too kindly to outsiders coming down here telling us what we should do.
